223pp. Illustrated. An attractive copy. In Latvian and English. Translated by Eduards Linins "When Dr. Vita Matisa invited me to write about my two great passions, Rainis and Aspazija, I leapt at the opportunity to return to my academic past and dig into the archives. The result is my essay about their life in exile -- what happens to two artists who are married and far away from their readership. It's not a pretty sight. Published in an anthology of articles regarding Rainis and Aspazija in Switzerland" ( B. Rubess) "Gramata veltita diviem izcilakajiem Latvijas kulturas vestures pa-rstavjiem - Rainim un Aspazijai.
